AT-ST outfit created by young designer Tom Judge. Made of cardboard and crafted from smaller paper craft templates.

Paper Record Player from kellianderson on Vimeo.

Designer Kelli Anderson made this wedding invitation for her friends, Mike Tarantino and Karen Sandler. Although it’s made of paper, it folds into a semi-functional record player which plays a song composed by the couple. Anderson writes:

The resulting booklet is comprised of a cover, two inner pages, a letterpressed band (with instructions and a tear-off RSVP postcard), and a flexdisc on a screwpost. The recipient bends the second page of the booklet back to create a tented “arm.” With the needle placed, they then carefully spin the flexidisc at 45 RPM (ish) to hear the song. The sewing needle travels the length of the song and produces the sound. Its vibrations are amplified by the thin, snappy paper to which it is adhered. To keep the needle down on the record, we reinforced the back of the “tent” with a spray-mounted half page of heavier cardstock. To reduce friction between the acetate flexidisc and the backing cover, we had the inside of the booklet laminated to be slick and conducive to hand-spinning.

I would assume this works with other denominations such as $1, $10 and $20 bills as well.

Way back when printers wore these paper hats to keep ink, lint and grease out of their hair.  Very stylish!  You can learn a bit about pressman and find instructions for making your own paper hat here via CapeCodToday.

“Waldo “Wally” Hunt, the man responsible for the modern renaissance of the pop-up book industry, passed away earlier this month at the age of 88. After selling his West Coast-based advertising agency in the early ’60s, Hunt ended up in New York City. Disillusioned with his company’s fate, Hunt looked for a new passion. He found it on Fifth Avenue when he caught a glimpse of a Czechoslovakian children’s pop-up book in a toy store window. From that moment on, Hunt essentially became the pop-up business.”

“The film documents “a determined group of theoretical scientists and fine artists who have abandoned their careers and scoffed at their graduate degrees to forge new lives as modern-day paper folders.”

I have mentioned this artist before on the Cubeelog and Yuken Teruya continues to impress with his newest set of work “Notice-Trees”.

“In the Notice-Forest series, Teruya cuts one side of a paper bag in a tree shape. The cut-out tree is folded down so that it appears to be part of a diorama to onlookers who look inside the bag. According to Teruya, the diorama is meant to look like a real tree positioned against the shadows of other trees in a forest.  In other words, Teruya reclaims paper bags back into what they once were–trees.”
